Engineering Physics Program

Core courses in the Engineering Physics program provide the student with fundamental physical principles and theoretical tools for professional practice as well as a firm foundation in modern experimental techniques. To relate these abilities to the attitudes and knowledge of other engineering disciplines, students in their second year can choose from 4 options: electrical, materials, mechanical, and computing.

To register for any second year engineering physics courses, students must have passed all the required first year mathematics and physics courses. It is strongly recommended that students have a grade of C- or better in the first year mathematics and physics courses.

Common Core Courses and Physics List A

Common core courses are shared by all Engineering Physics students throughout the 4 years of study. There is also a common elective course list called Physics List A which is shared by all Engineering Physics students in the fourth year. The elective courses must be chosen such that at the end of the academic plan each student meets or exceeds the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) program requirements. A spreadsheet will be provided by the Undergraduate Chair to aid fourth year students with their course selection.

Over the 4 years, all students must take 3 complementary studies. Students are required to have 9 units of complementary studies - 6 units from list A, and 3 units from list A, B, C or D available at Complementary Studies.

* Students are free to take Complementary Studies courses at any time in their program that suits their interests, workloads, and schedules.

**MTHE 338 may be replaced by ENPH 312. The second half of ENPH 312 replaces one of the required fourth year Physics A elective courses.

APSC 381 may be taken as a technical elective for students particularly interested in engineering design.

In February of Third Year students may apply for permission to take ENPH 456 and ENPH 457 as a combined alternative to ENPH 455, a 4th year List B course, and the Engineering Elective to facilitate an Accelerated Master's graduate degree ending in 16 months after completion of the undergraduate Engineering Physics program. Details will be given in January of your third year.

** Student may substitute a list B course from one of the other ENPH options in your program, provided you have prerequisites or permission. Other courses may be substituted with proper permission, see the Undergraduate Chair, Prof. Gao.
